Description

This two panel mosaic for NGC1909 was obtained from Deep Sky West using their terrific equipment located in Chile.  I had hoped to image this object myself this winter, but the clouds in Pittsburgh conspired against me!  So, I decided to just process this data.

Pane 1:
L: 23x600s
R: 18x600s
G: 16x600s
B: 17x600s

Pane 2:
L: 16x600s
R: 13x600s
G: 14x600s
B: 17x600s

I again used the Photometric Mosaic script by John Murphy to produce this mosaic.  It worked FLAWLESSLY!  If you're using PixInsight to create mosaics and not using this tool, you'd do well to take a look at it.

C and C always welcome.
Tim.
